I am not challenging that; I am welcoming it. So that I understand, the Minister stated that what was unique about the bodies in the lists is that they were statutory bodies. I am saying that An Taisce, which is often a prescribed body in planning legislation, is not a statutory body. It is State funded, but so is Conradh na Gaeilge and the others we listed. It would be helpful to understand what the general rule is. Then it would be easier for us to say "Okay, the Minister is right" or to challenge it. Does the Minister get my point?
